Counties and Communities We Serve

Howell County — West Plains

Howell County is the heart of our practice. West Plains has been our home and our community for decades. US-160 and US-63 are the region’s two primary corridors and are frequent sites of serious car accidents, truck collisions, and wrongful death cases that leave victims and families facing an uncertain future. Our firm has tried and settled some of the county’s largest personal injury and wrongful death verdicts, and we have spent decades fighting for residents across the region — including Mountain View and Willow Springs — in the courtroom and at the negotiating table. Whether you were injured in a car accident, hurt on unsafe property, or lost a loved one in a wrongful death involving a commercial vehicle, these are our neighbors and our community. We take that responsibility seriously and bring the experience, track record, and genuine commitment to fight for maximum compensation every step of the way.

Major Communities Served:

Mountain View & Willow Springs

Mountain View and Willow Springs are two of the most significant communities in the Ozarks region, and two areas where our firm has a long history of representing injured clients and their families. Both communities sit along major regional highways and serve as important waypoints for commercial and commuter traffic throughout Howell County.

Shannon County — Eminence, Summersville, Winona & Birch Tree

Shannon County is one of Missouri’s most rural and least populated counties, and one where injured residents often feel they have nowhere to turn after a serious accident. The Current River corridor and the county’s winding rural highways see serious crashes involving logging trucks, commercial vehicles, and motorcyclists that can leave victims and families with mounting medical bills and limited local resources. Our firm stands with residents injured in car accidents on rural highways, truck and logging vehicle collisions, motorcycle crashes, and all other personal injury matters — bringing the same aggressive representation and personalized attention we deliver to every client we represent throughout Missouri.

Major Communities Served:

Oregon County — Alton

Oregon County sits along Missouri’s southern border as one of the most underserved rural counties in the state, with Alton accessible via US-160, a highway that sees its share of serious accidents, including collisions involving commercial trucks and logging vehicles common to the region. Residents injured due to the negligence of another deserve the same level of aggressive, personalized legal representation as anyone else, and we bring that same dedication to every case we handle.

Major Communities Served:

Ozark County — Gainesville

Ozark County is home to some of the most scenic and most dangerous roads in the Missouri Ozarks, where winding state routes and rural highways create serious accident risks year-round, particularly for motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians traveling through the region. Gainesville serves as the primary community hub for Ozark County residents, and our firm represents injury victims throughout the county in car and motorcycle accidents, boating accidents, premises liability matters, and all other personal injury claims. We bring the same local road knowledge and aggressive representation that has made our firm one of Missouri’s most trusted personal injury practices.

Major Communities Served:

Douglas County — Ava

Douglas County is located in the heart of the Missouri Ozarks along US-60 and MO-5, two highways that see significant traffic between Springfield and South Central Missouri and are frequent sites of serious car and truck accidents throughout the region. Ava serves as the regional center for Douglas County and its surrounding communities. Our firm is ready to fight for residents injured in vehicle accidents on US-60, workplace accidents at the county’s agricultural or manufacturing operations, slip and falls at local businesses, and all other personal injury matters, no matter how complex the case or how aggressively the insurance company responds.

Major Communities Served:

Wright County — Mountain Grove

Wright County sits along US-60, which is one of South Central Missouri’s most heavily traveled freight and commuter corridors, where significant commercial truck traffic year-round contributes to serious car and truck accidents that leave victims and families facing an uncertain future. Mountain Grove, one of the region’s larger communities, brings a growing commercial presence that increases premises liability and workplace injury risks throughout the county. Our firm represents residents injured in vehicle accidents on US-60, premises liability incidents at local businesses and properties, catastrophic injuries resulting from serious collisions, and all other personal injury matters throughout the county.

Major Communities Served:

Texas County — Houston

Texas County is the largest county by area in Missouri, traversed by US-63, a major north-south corridor connecting the Ozarks region to Columbia and beyond that serves as a frequent site of serious car and truck accidents, particularly involving commercial vehicles traveling between Springfield and the Lake of the Ozarks region. Houston serves as the commercial and judicial hub for one of Missouri’s most expansive rural counties, and our firm represents injury victims with vehicle accidents, premises liability claims, wrongful death cases, and all other personal injury matters, no matter how remote the location or complex the case.

Major Communities Served:

Laclede County - Lebanon

Laclede County sits along I-44 — one of Missouri’s most heavily traveled interstate highways and a major freight corridor connecting St. Louis to Springfield and beyond. The heavy mix of commercial truck traffic, out-of-state drivers, and local commuters on I-44 and US-65 makes the area one of South Central Missouri’s most active areas for serious car, truck, and motorcycle accidents. Lebanon serves as a regional hub for commerce and healthcare for communities throughout the surrounding Ozarks.

Major Communities Served:

Butler County - Poplar Bluff

Butler County is located in the southeastern corner of Missouri along the Black River and serves as one of the region’s most significant commercial and medical hubs, anchored by Poplar Bluff, the county’s largest city in Southeast Missouri. US-60 and US-67 are the county’s primary corridors and see substantial commercial truck traffic traveling between Memphis, St. Louis, and Springfield, making serious car and truck accidents a frequent and devastating reality for residents and their families. Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center serves as the area’s primary trauma facility, treating victims of some of the region’s most serious accidents.

Major Communities Served:

Christian County - Nixa & Ozark

Christian County is one of Missouri’s fastest-growing counties, situated directly south of Springfield along US-65, a major commercial freight corridor connecting the Springfield metro to Branson and beyond. The county’s rapid growth has brought increased traffic, construction activity, and commercial development that creates serious accident and premises liability risks throughout the area. Nixa and Ozark serve as the primary commercial hubs, and US-65, MO-14, and MO-160 are among the county’s most active and accident-prone corridors, seeing significant commercial truck traffic and commuter volume between Springfield and South Central Missouri year-round.

Priority Practice Areas Throughout Missouri

Motor Vehicle Accidents — Car, Truck & Commercial Vehicle

Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of serious injury and wrongful death throughout South Central Missouri. US-60, US-63, US-160, and the region’s winding rural state routes see serious crashes every year, many involving commercial trucks, logging vehicles, and out-of-state drivers unfamiliar with Ozarks road conditions. Our firm has recovered some of the largest car and truck accident verdicts and settlements in Howell County history and brings that same aggressive representation to every vehicle accident case we handle across the region.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating, and the legal process that follows can feel overwhelming. Our firm has represented families across South Central Missouri in some of the region’s most significant wrongful death cases, including a Howell County record $6,700,000 verdict for the family of a West Plains man killed in a MoDOT construction zone. We handle wrongful death cases with the compassion and determination these families deserve.
